In addition to the world famous Spinel, the area around Mahenge also produces some extremely high quality Rhodolite. The color is essentially perfect - a much light tone than we typically see and a strong predominance of purple. Not a ‘grape’ looking stone, but more of a light tone classic Rhodolite hue. Really fine color - clean and excellent cutting as well.
